I've been converting M-JPEG video shot on a Canon camera into MPEG4 ASP... and I've not really been happy with the XVID option. The original video (480x640 30fps) has a graininess to it and XVID (and DIVX) soften video too much even at generous bitrates of 2500-3000kbs. One scene of traveling down a back wooded road with rain drops on the windshield seemed to be a codec killer. Neither of these codecs could capture what was in the original.

But I found another MPEG-4 option in XVID4PSP just called "Professional" and it seems to capture all the original detail/graininess and deal with the wet windshield problem. I checked the file in GSPOT to see what it was and it's called "DivX 4 (OpenDivX)". There's not much out on the web about this codec... and I've yet to test it on stand alone DIVX DVD players.

Anyone else have any experience with it?

Thanks!

Yikes, OpenDIVX 4 is an ancient codec going back to 2001:
